Alex Burghart

Conservative — Brentwood and Ongar

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 May 2025

Debate

UK-EU Summit

Contribution

When I first arrived in the House, the leader of the hon. Gentleman’s party was advocating leaving NATO and giving up Trident, so I will take no lectures from those on his side of the House. My party is committed to 3% defence spending, and I think that those defence contractors in his constituency would very much like to see a Conservative Government spend some of that money in his patch.
